When the mic was set up, I turned to Oprah, “The song I’m playing is one that I wrote when I had a fight with my best friend. We haven’t talked in a while because I was busy shooting, so Evan, consider this an apology from me. This is the first time I’m playing it in front of anyone, so don’t be too harsh on me.”Oprah’s eyes widened slightly as I announced that.

My lips were locked with Scarlett’s as a production assistant poured a big bucket of fake blood over us. I didn’t stop for even a second and even pulled her closer to me. I won’t lie, the whole scene was a little bit of a turn-on for me. Being wet with sticky red corn syrup while making out with the woman of my dreams was just about perfect. Was it a little gross that I was licking corn syrup off her body? The corn syrup part was; her body wasn’t, so I was actually enjoying it quite a…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Do you know an unhinged person like him we could cast in the next Batman movie?…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
